Promoting for a good cause is part of every celebrity’s career and the same is true for Wonder Woman Gal Gadot. The 31-year old actress recently starred in ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ and is to continue as main actress in Wonder Woman next year.

However, being an Israeli citizen, Gal served in the army for two years before she started her acting career. This not only impressed the casting director Justin Lin at the audition for the role of a Bond girl. “I think the main reason was that Justin really liked that I was in the military and he wanted to use my knowledge of weapons,” Gal believes. Consequently she performed her own stunts in ‘Fast & Furious’ as Gisele.

The successful model and actress seeks to draw more attention to Israeli women and joined a low budget film project by two students who present ‘Israeli wonder women’, such as an IDF pilot, a business lady, a doctor and an award -winning surfer.
